A Rescue for Abused & Neglected Horses

The Equis Save Foundation is a haven for horses of all ages, breeds, and training levels. Not only do they rescue horses, they also provided support for fellow horse rescues and sanctuaries across the country. Consequently, uniting them with rescues that share a common goal. In hopes to save more lives and bring greater awareness for the need to protect our equine friends.

“Our mission is to promote the rescue of slaughter-bound and neglected horses by letting the world know what rescue horses can do through public education and rewarding the accomplishments of rescue horses in all aspects of Equine Sport.”

3 Ways Equis Save is Spreading Awareness for Rescue Horses

1. Recognition Program

To encourage the rescue and retraining of neglected and slaughter-bound horses, the ESF has created the Rescue Recognition program (R.R.P.).  As a result, the R.R.P. offers high point rescue awards at open horse shows and competitions for eligible horses. A “Rescue” is any horse that was slaughter bound, neglected, saved from a Kill Pen, or adopted from Rescue. Learn More.

2. Rescue of the Year

The Rescue of the Year Award, awards a horse rescue or sanctuary providing rescue, rehabilitation, retraining, and adoption services to rescue horses. These horses must be rescues from kill pens or severe neglect/abuse situations. Furthermore, the winning sanctuary or rescue will receive a $1000 grant to go towards the care of rescue horses and facility upkeep. Learn More.

3. Hay Grant

Furthermore, the Hay Grant provides feed/hay to horse rescues, shelters, and sanctuaries that demonstrate a need to provide food for the horses within their care. For more information and eligibility requirements, visit our Hay Grant application page.
